Fortaleza’s comprehensive action plan aims at a 15% reduction in government-level emissions by 2030, with sub-targets for waste, transportation and renewable energy.

Improving sustainable mobility is at the heart of the plan. The city is reducing traffic congestion and redesigning its public transport to make service faster and more efficient. The infrastructure is being expanded too, so mass transit will be within reach of every Fortaleza resident. The number of bike and pedestrian paths are multiplying, which encourages people to choose non-motorized travelling.

WHY WE LOVE CITIES

Over half the world’s population now live in cities, and they generate over 70% of our climate footprint. But cities also offer an immense opportunity to create better places to live while contributing to a healthier planet in the process. Through better transport, green buildings, harnessing the power of nature, wasting less and loving more, cities can lead the way to a climate-friendly future.
